I had a fantastic time staying in Bangkok.Surawong city resort was a great place to stay,near enough for everything.The staff at the apartment were excellent and very friendly.The pool and gym were adequate and fine,its a cheap place and not a five star hotel.Reading the other peoples comments yes it is hard to find,suggest you use google maps street view so you know exactly where it is,even taxi drivers in area don't know where it is,Naret Road is a busy one way road .
Get off at the Kokotel hotel on Surawong road ,Naret Road is opposite,walk down, its only 60 metres away.
Some people have said the bed was too hard but this is what the beds are like in Thailand,there are all the same,dont moan about it.
My only downside comment is that the apartment is getting a bit tired and could do with being redecorated but don't let that put you off.
Never got to meet Gael,get impression he doesn't get to Bangkok regularly but communication with him was no problem,my flights were messed about and had to change my arrival times but Gael was always in contact to let maid know and very friendly and hate giving any negative comment but have to be honest.
Would I stay again? 100 percent yes!
